Post by hfcable »

blackhawk in 30 carbine be rechambered to the 327 federal? would you need a new cylinder? i know the bore diameter issue, but Paco and others have rechamber to 32/20 and with no apparent ill effects?
well, like i said, probably a dumb question?

I don't see why not but a new bbl may be required for optimal performance.

FWIW I'm about to list my unconverted OM .30 Carbine on the WTS side. It was going to be the basis of a Jeff Quinn .44 Special conversion but I just have too many other projects to reasonably deal with.

Jeff Quinn Special: This conversion was made famous by Jeff Quinn of Gunblast.com. It has proven to be my most popular conversion. I have updated it a few times and the latest version is the best yet. NM & OM Ruger .357 conversion to any cal. suited for .357 size frames listed above. Conversion utilizes factory barrel rebored and cut at 4 5/8" - 6 1/2", forcing cone cut to 11 degrees, and muzzle recrowned. Cyl. is linebored and rechambered. Custom made .110" wide partridge style fixed blade sight of proper height standard. Frame and hammer color casehardened. Balance of gun is blued. $775 All blue version $525 This conversion is intended for blue guns only.
If these walls could talk, I'd listen to the floor.
